Answer 1

It has been 30 years, but when I was in high school in Texas, the dean of men gave us a choice when some transgression was committed by a student. Either be suspended for 3 days or grab a desk corner & accept 3 swats w a paddle. It was quite legal then, but I would doubt it in this day.

Sounds like an administrator who lost their composure.
